100 Athletes You Need To Follow On Twitter

In the age of Twitter, fans are more connected to professional athletes than ever.

Instead of only being able to read quotes from athletes in articles or hear what they have to say on television, we hear straight from athletes' mouths on Twitter every day. This has allowed fans to really get a feel for what athletes do when they aren't in the public eye.

Some athletes offer in-depth analysis on their sport, some try to be funny, and others tweet out endless streams of pictures. The best athlete tweeters are entertaining, interactive, and show a side of themselves that fans would never see without this specific medium. Based on those criteria, we ranked our 100 favorites.
